Updating old firmware.

I've got an early Wii (D2B I think) which I hard-modded with YAOSM.

My firmware is still on 3.3E, but the latest games I've tried have always tried to perform a system update (which I didn't do).
I've tried brickblocker, which allows the game to start, but it then goes to a black screen and the controllers turn off.

I'm only interested in playing games, but is it "safe" to allow it to update the firmware ?
(I've got some "older" games that would probably not update to the most recent version).
If it's safe to try then I would prefer to do it before going down the softmod path.
